The most beautiful thing about the Life of Our Lord was His Death.

Everyone else came into the world to live; He came into it to die; "to give His Life a redemption for many" (Matt. 20:28).

His Death was the one thing He wished to have remembered.

He did not ask that men should write down His words in books; He did not ask that His deeds should be recorded in history. But He did ask that men remember His Death.
